Inaugural Hits

[Aaron Adler <cadlerun@>]

Top 10 Inauguration Observations:

  10) President Bush is gone.

   9) Lots of people and no arrests. I read some great stories about 
people running up the down escalator at crowded subway stations chanting 
"yes we can." People were also helping to pick up the mall after the 
inauguration to kill some time before trying to get home. Nice.

   8) Lots of cameras. I saw Vice President Biden taking some photos at 
the inauguration for Malia. Seemed like everyone was holding a camera 
above their head. Now that cameras are so tiny I guess everyone can take 
photos all the time. I'm sure the Secret Service loves screening all 
those cameras.

   7) Speaking of the Secret Service, they actually do have a sense of 
humor. The named the new presidential limo / tank "The Beast." And I 
wonder if the anti-sniper snipers use iSnipe (seriously, google it).

   6) Pretty good speech. I liked the parts about facts and science. The 
last bit was nice too. I'm sure everyone had their favorite part.

   5) Aretha can sing. And had a cool hat.

   4) The White House web page changed over at noon, but they can't 
update it easily because all the computers at the White House are old 
and have out-of-date software.

   3) The oath (x2) and Chief Justice John "no-notes" Roberts. Vice 
President Biden tried to make a joke about it the other day when he 
forgot he was supposed to swear in some more senior staff. President 
Obama did not look pleased with him. At all.

   2) Vice President Joe Biden has a ridiculously large...  . . . . 
bible. Seriously that's a monster.

            Once you are in 32, just take the G-elevator to the 9th
        floor and we will be in the lounge that you will be looking at
